The Sky Screen's Top Headline: From the Start, It Shows Chongzhen's Suicide

Zhen Zhun, a history graduate, binds himself to the Myriad Worlds Headlines System. Every news item for tomorrow that he scrolls past appears as a sky screen in the skies of every dynasty. And so... On the eighteenth day of the third month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, a line of large characters lights up over the Forbidden City: Tomorrow’s Headline: The Emperor hangs himself at Coal Hill. The Ming Dynasty falls. Chongzhen turns white-haired overnight, while the court officials kneel and tremble. During the Hongwu era, Zhu Yuanzhang storms into the Embroidered Uniform Guard’s prison with a sword in hand. From that day on, emperors across all worlds develop the habit of holding court three times a day, just to wait for the headline to update. Zhen Zhun: “Don’t panic, everyone. Today’s headline is just an appetizer.” This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
